the password is calvin. The root account is the default administrative account that ships with CMC.
NOTE: For added security, it is strongly recommended that you change the default password of the root account
during initial setup.
CMC does not support extended ASCII characters, such as Я, е, й, ь, or other characters used primarily in non-English
languages.
You cannot log in to the Web interface with different user names in multiple browser windows on a single workstation.

Logging Into CMC Using Smart Card
You can log in to CMC using a smart card. Smart cards provide Two Factor Authentication (TFA) that provide two-layers
of security:
•
Physical smart card device.
•
Secret code such as a password or PIN.
Users must verify their credentials using the smart card and the PIN.
NOTE: You cannot use the IP address to log in to CMC using Smart Card login. Kerberos validates your credentials
based on the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN).
Before you log in as a Active Directory user using Smart Card, make sure to:
•
Upload a Trusted Certificate Authority (CA) certificate (CA-signed Active Directory certificate) to CMC
•
Configure the DNS server.
•
Enable Active Directory login.
